Spongy Banana Cupcakes 香蕉海绵杯子蛋糕

I have many cupcake liners haven't used. I bought some and some given by my cooking & baking buddies.  I took out this floral design and I decided to bake them with banana sponge cake, they look so lovely! And this was a faster way to prepare cupcakes, I still use my prefer cold eggs method, don't need egg separation, and only need 5mins beating time, quick and good!

This time i didn't use the pisang emas to bake this cupcake, instead I use pisang berangan, it still tasted good! 

After beaten for 5mins (must beat over high speed), the volume of batter became high.

After added flour and oil, the batter reduced to half..

Fill them about 90% full. They will shrink after cool down but only a bit!
